Hardware, Embedded Systems In the future people may interact with computers via a touchscreen or voice commands, but presently, keyboards are still one of the major ways to interact with a computer. The Tech Report has acquired a modern buckling spring keyboard, the Das Keyboard Professional, for review. Being a hardware review site, they have to compare the Das Keyboard Professional against something, so Cyril pits it against his personal Model M.

I think i'd be in the target market because i really love that sound from older keyboards and hate using laptop keyboards. Now keys are half the size they should be and i don't hear anywhere enough click.

The big problem is that i don't spend $130 on keyboards. I'm not going to spend money that could be spent on ram or hard drives to go back to being 5 yrs old.

I'm currently using a 1993 IBM beige keyboard and unfortunately das keyboard hasn't proven better than it.
